Grass Valley Switchers Part of Upgrade to Australian Broadcaster

MONTREAL—Grass Valley and the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) have continued what GV says is a 20 year relationship with the broadcaster installing GV switchers as part of range of studio upgrades. ABC updated 13 studios across eight cities, all of which received GV’s K-Frame based switchers with a mixture of Karrera and Korona switcher panels.

The new K-Frame units are replacing ABC’s older Kayak switchers from GV. With the Karrera and Korona K-Frame switchers, ABC is able to have 1080p and 4K UHD support in either 3 M/Es or 2 M/Es, in a 6RU video frame.

ABC’s new switchers will join the broadcasters existing fleet of GV Kayenne K-Frames.

Mobile TV Group’s 39 Flex 4K production truck has been on the road serving mobile productions, including the Masters and PGA golf championships, with the help of Grass Valley’s Kayenne K-Frame Switcher.

In addition to the nearly 7,000 worshipers who attend weekly services at the Bellevue Baptist Church in Memphis, Tenn., the church provides a weekly TV broadcast on a local station, simulcasts to two satellite locations, and produces live-streaming and on-demand content on its website.
